为了跟上国际化和交流需要，很多英语非母语国家都会在公共场所等地的标志牌上用英语进行指示。但是鉴于水准和把关问题，经常会出现令人啼笑皆非的翻译。而这种现象不止存在于中国，其他国家也不乏出现此类乌龙事件。

　　近日，首尔市政府请大众帮忙改正翻译不当的街道标志牌，并为那些指出最多错误的人颁发奖金。这次活动号召韩国人和外国人共同关注英语、日语以及中文文本上的错误内容，为期两周，无论什么人发现令人困惑或错误的翻译，都被要求拍下照片并通过邮件汇报错误细节。不查不知道，这一仔细排查，奇葩翻译实在不胜枚举。

　指示牌

　　在韩国一所一流大学的中央图书馆的入口处，大家会发现一项令人尴尬的规定："你可以持有一边尺寸不超过22厘米的书写用具、书籍、笔记本电脑和背包。"这块指示牌可能是想表达这样的意思，"你可以把尺寸不超过22厘米的文具、书籍、笔记本电脑和书包带进图书馆。"

　　At the central library of a first-rate university in Korea, one can find an awkward stipulation at the entrance: "You can possess writing tackles, books, laptop and the bag which one side size maximum 22cm." The sign probably means: "You can bring into the library writing utensils, books, laptops and bags which do not exceed 22 centimeters in size."

餐厅

　　韩餐厅菜单上的英语翻译错的更离谱。在韩国备受欢迎的菜肴"海鲜葱煎饼"也没有逃脱韩式英语的迫害，有一份菜单称其为"海产洋葱煎饼"。还有一道被称为"锅贴冷盘"的菜肴，其实应该翻译为"什锦海鲜葱煎饼"。

　　English translations on the menu of Korean restaurants are much worse. The popular Korean dish, "seafood and green onion pancake (haemool pajeon)" is not safe from Konglish either: one menu calls the pancake a "marine products green onion pancake." Another dish called "cocktail of pan-fried food (modeum pajeon)" should simply be translated to, "assorted seafood and green onion pancake."

　　最搞笑的翻译之一可能就是这个"山还没有-卵石锅-用杂菜煮米（什么鬼？）"，这道菜应译为"山菜石锅拌饭"。

　　Perhaps one of the funniest translations is "mountain not yet the pebble pot boiled rice with assorted mixtures (sanchae dolsot bibimbab)," which should be "assorted mountain vegetables and rice mixed in a hot pot."

日常用语

　　除了食品，其他物品的韩式英语翻译也很搞笑。例如，当某个人呕吐的时候，韩国人会说，"他吃多了"，他们把呕吐和暴饮暴食混淆了。在体育比赛中，韩国人为队伍加油的时候会喊，"Fighting!（去战斗吧！）"，而英国本地人会喊，"Go team, go!（大家加油！）"

　　There are funny Konglish translations of items other than food, too. For example, when someone vomits, Koreans say, "He is overeating," confusing vomiting with overeating. During sports games, Koreans cheer their team on by shouting, "Fighting!" when native speakers of English would holler, "Go team, go!"

　标语

　　虽然首尔在试着采用更适合游客的标志牌，但是其先前的旅游宣传活动却遇到了语言问题。去年，"I.Seoul.U（我·首尔·你）"被选为推动城市国际化的标语，然而，立马有人嘲笑这个标语在英语里是毫无道理可言的。

　　While Seoul is trying to adopt more visitor-friendly signage, its own tourism campaigns have run into language troubles in the past. Last year, "I.Seoul.U" was chosen as a slogan to promote the city internationally, and was promptly mocked for making little sense in English.
